A Lesson from a Cobbler Boy


Rivers flow
In all directions
Without prior measurements
Of uneven distances they reach

Knowledge flows too

I drank from a river once
Flowing from the mouth of a cobbler boy

“Saheb!
I’ll make you shoe shine
So good
You’ll see your face in it.”

Since then
I see my face in my shoes

Even when I am not wearing one
